USC brought its famous song girls to stand next to the stage Wednesday while new basketball coach Andy Enfield made his introduction to Los Angeles, but they were easily upstaged by his wife, Amanda, a former fashion model.

"I didn't see this happening," Amanda Enfield said about a whirlwind week that saw her husband become the Trojans' coach just a few days after leading Florida Gulf Coast to the Sweet 16. "I never would have imagined this."

But she quickly adapted to her new surroundings, buying a yellow dress for the occasion to match at least one of USC's colors.

"Living in Los Angeles, this is as good as it gets," she said.

If she sounded happy, her husband was even more enthusiastic as he laid out some plans after signing a contract that will pay him $1.5 million next season. Enfield even got recognized by three people at his hotel before he arrived at the news conference and promised to bring his high-flying brand of basketball to USC.

"I've been preparing for this for over 20 years," he said. "The players in this area are going to be thrilled to play this way.

"Scoring in college basketball is way down this year. I don't like to play like that."

"We're not going to the Final Four next year," Haden said. "Five years from now, we can be a Sweet 16 team on a regular basis."

Enfield reached the Sweet 16 in two years at Florida Gulf Coast, so he would respectfully disagree. But Haden emphasized Enfield's desire to succeed as a clear positive for hiring him.

"He burns competitive juices," Haden said. "That's what you want."

Enfield described himself as laid-back, but Haden said, "Don't be deceived by his persona."

After arriving Tuesday night in Los Angeles, Enfield met with the Trojans on Wednesday morning. Enfield already watched tape of the team and said he couldn't wait to develop their skills for next season.

"Our existing roster has to improve and they are the guys we are going to rely on," Enfield said.

Among those attending was forward Dewayne Dedmon, who might turn pro. Haden said he didn't know Dedmon's status with the team itself, because Dedmon was suspended for the final game after reportedly being involved in an altercation in Spokane, Wash.

Enfield also met with the current assistant coaches, including Bob Cantu, who served as interim coach. He told the coaches he would let them know in the next week if any of them will be retained.

Cantu said he would like to remain on staff after spending the past 12 years at USC.
